The backhand drop shot shares many similarities to the forehand drop shot, yet there are a few key advantages that make it even more potent. Find out how to master the backhand drop shot in today’s lesson.

Great stuff! Would you say it is the same as a slice except the racket face is open at contact on a drop shot and closed on a slice? Also, how high above the net are you aiming on a drop shot vs a slice?

Yes, but also don’t forget the emphasis on lighter grip pressure as well. Also the strings aren’t closed but rather less open on a standard slice. Height over the net can vary but generally 3+ feet but with the ball already dropping as it’s crossing the net.
